is it any surprise we have crises when we have self for fillers of those crises like anthony fauci andernment. host: the column that you wrote for real clear markets, one of your homebase is, you anticipated reader reactions. you wrote, some readers will say good, dr. fauci's insulation from the market let's and say --what and further they might say pressure and free market because both way particularly in relation to the coronavirus. if dr. fauci had worked for mcdonald's or six flags when coronavirus became a story, he might've felt pressured to downplay it in consideration of how overreaction could have shrunk customer account for all three corporations. you anticipated them arguing this. what is your response? guest: my response is, that is a misunderstanding of how businesses work. in the stock market, the stock market never prices in the present, it always prices the future. what will the future look like for a company? that speaks to why, if anthony fauci were in the employ of disney, amc, six flags, he could never be careless about a spreading virus. he couldn't, because if he

anthony fauci the centerpiece of his come back political tour, which he wants to start tomorrow in a speech he is giving to the state republican party in north carolina. doctor fauci is the subject in a negative way, of every hour on fox news primetime now. where they think he can somehow be blamed for causing covid, or something? since he is a country's lead scientist on. or maybe he is a secret chinese communist? i actually quite quite follow what they think fauci has done so wrong. but you know, knock yourself up. this is not his first time swimming laps in the kiddie pool. this is from against the odds. january 1989, fauci was in san francisco to speak at an aids meeting been held at the scene francis hotel. just before he stepped up to the podium, active members popped up from the audience and began blowing whistles. within minutes, they had covered the hotel conference room with red tape. they chanted, you're killing us with red tape. with characteristics the amusement, fauci complemented them on the careful organization of their demonstration. fauci had a special knack for taki

anthony fauci. i think that is a bad choice, in part because i'm not sure anybody can follow exactly what it is they think he's done so wrong. anybody outside their echo chamber, certainly. but also because he knows how to handle himself. i will also point out, though, that aside from him, this is a weird evolution for us. this is a weird evolution for our country over these 40 years. dr. anthony fauci made his bones and grew his thick skin being screamed at and protested and denounced and burned in effigy and threatened to his face by people who were doing that because they were sick and afraid of dying and trying desperately to get a cure. and in him, no matter how much they attacked him, what they ended up with was an ally and a devoted, excellent researcher and scientist who kept helping, who in fact invited them in, who kept working at it, who didn't get them a cure but got them damn close. in contrast, the brick bats he is enduring today, the people attacking him now appear to be mad at him fo

anthony fauci says publicly released email about lab leak is being misconstrued. in an interview with cnn thursday, dr. fauci said an email he received last year from an executive at a u.s.-based eco-alliance has been misconstrued and offered a hint of regret about a february 2020 email downplaying the need to wear a mask. earlier this week, news outlets including cnn, buzzfeed, the washington post obtained thousands of emails pouch e sent and received since the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases became a housel name last year. in one email sent to pouch last april, a global nonprofit that helped find some research at china's wuhan institute of virology thanked faucher for publicly stating scientific evidence supports a natural origin for the coronavirus and not a lab release. the origins of the virus remain unclear, writes cnn. "there are some of your critics who say you have two cozy of a relationship with people behind the wuhan research." john berman said you found she on new day, what you say to that? dr. fauci said that is n

anthony fauci now claiming he was open-minded about it is preposterous because last april remember heand he was asked about the theory that this may have come from a laboratory was propaganda by a few republican senators and anthony fauci downplayed a pretty set said all the evidence points to this being a natural occurrence and he referenced a bunch of scientists who we now know have dramatic conflicts of interest and there were articles in top scientific journals insisting j the lab very had no basis in truth. we knew that was a lie and these guys had meaningful conflicts of interest when he came to receiving and handling american taxpayer funding that went directly to that lab in wuhan. anthony fauci was happy in april when heof last year spoke to the national geographic to insist he did not think this was a lab leak in this was natural in origin. elizabeth: hhs and the inspector general for hhs did an audit of funding and what happened with the funding of the wuhan lab. we see dr. fauci saying 16,000 went to the wuhan lab and other estimates say was a million dollars. >> why are w

anthony fauci. dr. fauci, good to see you as always.this about president biden's 70% goal at the white house coronavirus briefing today. i want to play it for our viewers. >> that is not the goal line, nor is it the end game. the end game is to go well beyond that, beyond july 4th. >> so, as you just heard with our last report, president biden repeatedly called the 70% of american adults with at least one shot, he called it a goal. it sounds like the white house is kind of walking this goal messaging back a bit. >> you know, not necessarily, jake. you set a goal. if you reach it, great. if you don't, you keep going to try and reach it and go beyond it. so i don't really see any, to be honest with you, big deal here. we were trying for 70% of adults by july 4th. if you get to 67 or 68, there's not that much statistical difference between the two, but you want to go beyond it. it was a goal and we want to go beyond the goal. if you don't exactly meet it on july 4th, you don't stop, you just keep going. and that's what we're going to do. w

anthony fauci and we'll talk more about the state of the country's pandemic response because at this hour there is so much to discuss with the nation's most prominent public health official. dr. fauci is facing an extraordinary backlash from leaders in the republican party ramping up their criticisms after the public disclosure of thousands of dr. fauci's emails. they don't appear to contain anything particularly explosive. still, the attacks against him are relentless and familiar if you follow american politics over the last five years. this is an attempt to weaponize something that isn't harmless and try to create a controversy. we've seen this with emails before, haven't we? largely, it seems in an effort to excuse or paper over the former president's disastrous handling of this pandemic. the result, dr. fauci finds himself at the center of the gop messaging which is a place a public health official like him does not like to be. frankly, it's what happened to a lot of public health officials on the state and local level, so many of them ended up leaving their jobs. we'll talk abou

why does anthony fauci still have credibility? doing interviews sharing his feelings, hair standing on the back of your neck, instead of actual data, actual science i think many of in country, lawrence threw open their mouth when they heard that dr. anthony fauci will be releasing a new book on the pandemic, thereby profiting off the pandemic. we should probably bundle this book save a couple of bucks which truk's book who got a $5 million book advance while the pandemic was still raging so he could spike the football in the end zone talking about what a great job he did this isn't even up for debate the worst job of any governor. you had cuomo profiting off the pandemic government official now we have fauci doing it as well. i think this is appal, guys. ainsley: senator kennedy was grilling him on the gain of function research saying how can you trust that china didn't use money that the nih gave china and gave the lab to do this research and then spread the virus accidently? listen to this. >> you gave them money and you said do
